MOG Editorial Review

Although R.L. Burnside had been a bluesman for much of his life, it wasn't until the mid-'90s that he gained the moentum he was always after, thanks in large part to Fat Possum Records' re-release of Too Bad Jim. Recording the record live at Junior Kimbrough's juke joint, Burnside is in his element, masterfully delivering the drone-style blues often associated with northwest Mississippi. The tendency to play one chord throughout each song adds a hypnotic feeling to Burnside's work, making this an album that soothes as much as it scratches.
AMG Review of Too Bad Jim

Thom Owens
All Music Guide

Too Bad Jim is cut from the same cloth as its predecessor, Bad Luck City. It features R.L. Burnside fronting a small juke joint combo, tearing through some greasy blues. However, Too Bad Jim is the better album, simply from a performance standpoint. Burnside sounds more relaxed and the band steps back from the spotlight slightly, letting the guitarist burn brightly on his own, showcasing his deep blues roots.
